In FreeDOS 1.1 there was a boot option 4 rCRLoad FreeDOS without driversrCL.
[see picture 1]
It booted a clean system, with SYSTEM and COMMAND and nothing else. [2]
In FreeDOS 1.2 there is a boot option 3 rCRLoad FreeDOS without drivers
(Emergency Mode) [3]
If you choose it, you load FreeDOS with drivers: HIMEMX, FDAPM, CTMOUSE, UDVD2,
SHSUCDXrCa [4]
WouldnrCOt it be better not to load drivers? If people choose not to? ItrCOs
called rCREmergency moderCL after all...
There is also a boot option 4 rCRLoad FreeDOS low with some drivers (Safe
Mode)rCL [5]
But it is not loaded LOW, as promised. In FDCONFIG.SYS you find:
124?DOS=HIGH
rCa
124?DOSDATA=UMB
Isn't this the opposite of low? [6]
Probably thererCOs a quick way to fix the whole thing: Exchange only the titles
of menu options 3 and 4 and delete every 4? in FDCONFIG.SYS except the line
that loads SHELL=C:\FDOS\BIN\COMMAND.COM. [7]
WouldnrCOt this make more sense? Please correct me if IrCOm wrong.
